Photographs I managed of today's eclipse, somewhere around 90-92% totality in Rhode Island.

My favorite of the many, many, many interesting articles that @TheConversationUS has had on the #SolarEclipse: Educators discuss how to explain what's going on to blind students https://theconversation.com/an-eclipse-for-everyone-how-visually-impaired-students-can-get-a-feel-for-eclipses-225955 #SolarEclipse2024 #2024SolarEclipse

An eclipse for everyone – how visually impaired students can ‘get a feel for’ eclipses

Eclipses are rare, fantastic celestial events. Here’s how educators can help visually impaired students enjoy eclipses alongside their sighted peers.

Don’t look at the sun. Make a pinhole projector and observe the shadow of the eclipse if you are without glasses.

It’s total solar eclipse day.

They happen somewhere on Earth once every 18 months or so.

But most people can’t afford to go chasing them, so the better question is how long you’d have to wait to see one where you live.

On average, it takes 375 years.

So if you’re lucky enough to be somewhere in North America experiencing totality today:

Put down your phone & camera during the main event, watch, be amazed, & embrace being made from starstuff 🌞🌑

How Often Do Total Solar Eclipses Occur?

A total eclipse's rarity adds to its allure. For any given place on Earth, a total eclipse of the Sun appears just once every 375 years. But that interval is just the average. Let's explore how often a total solar eclipse occurs where you live.
